Research confirms mothers are the most exhausted s Research confirms mothers are the most exhausted since WW2 because so many of us are the first generation without the proper support of a village or grandparents.This generation of grandparents is evidently the least supportive and most self-centered.Mothers, do you get proper support from the grandparents?

It’s hard to know quite where to begin with writ It’s hard to know quite where to begin with writing this review because our week away at the @oberjoch.familux in Germany, 10 miles from@Austria, was literally, unequivocably and utterly perfect. Perfect, full stop, so there’s no need to read the rest of the blog post although do stay because I want to sing from the rooftops how excellent every element of our stay was because this resort truly sets the bar for family travel. The entire resort, and experience there, felt like entering the culmination of a family brainstorm where each member played their part in conjuring up the most incredible resort conceivable, which caters for every want or need you could possibly hope for from a vacation, without compromise. This resort turns the notion on its head that vacations with children, are just parenting in a change of scenery. Familux provides parents with a chance to feel fully rested and rejuvenated after a stay there, because the kids are happy, so you are!

Did you know the common belief that all babies are Did you know the common belief that all babies are born with blue eyes is actually a myth? A baby’s eye colour at birth depends on genetics and brown is common too. My daughter who is 4 months here, had bluey green eyes until around age one when they turned hazel. At 3 years old now they sometimes look orange in the light too!! She was born with brown eyes though. My sons were both born with brown eyes which never changed colour. You should know your baby’s final eye colour by the age of 3. Did your baby’s eye colour change too? #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #grandmother #pregnancy #pregnancyfacts #biology #relatable #facts #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts

Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morni Did you know that the old wives’ tale that morning sickness means you’re having a girl, is statistically true? Several studies have shown that chronic morning sickness means an increased chance of having a girl and one study even suggests that the more sick you are, the smarter the baby, girl or boy. A study at the University of Washington compared the gender outcomes of 2100 pregnant women admitted to hospital with acute morning sickness during their first trimester with a control group of 9783 women who did not get sick. The hospitalised group were more likely to have girls and those hospitalised for 3 or more days had an 80% increase in girls compared to the control group. Another study in Sweden found similar results. #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting #momtomom #grandmother #pregnancy #pregnancyfacts #biology #relatable #science #facts #studies #babygirls #babyboy #babygirl
